After yesterday’s announcement of a reward for medicine, which fell into the discoveries of an important mechanism for protecting the agency, today in turn Nobel Physics PrizeThis time the field was for John Clark, Michelle H. Devoret and John M. Martinis “To detect a macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnel and quantitative determination of energy in an electric circuit.”
As usual with the Nobel Prize in Physics, the announcement was held a little more than 11:45 (Spanish Peninsula) at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, in Stockholm, and the Secretary General of this Institution, Hans Ellegren.
Winners will have to distribute the prize 11 million Swedish crownsIt is equivalent to approximately 1 million euros. It is true that this is not the largest scientific award, but one of the most famous.
Nobel Prize in Physics for Quantum Physics
Those who were awarded in 2025 disputed the jump of quantum mechanics on a macroscopic scale. They conducted experiments with an electric chain in which they demonstrated both the tunnel effect and quantum energy levels in the system, large enough to support it in the hand.
Another year without women
Each year it is important to have a reward chosen by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, but also appreciate scientists This is for many years, as well as partly now they suffered from this award.
Since he began to take place in 1901, they received the Nobel Prize in Physics in total 5 womenThe first field, Maria Curie, received a reward in 1903. In 1911, in addition, she became the first person (now one of the few) to win two Nobel prizes. It may seem that this award will smile for women. However, the numbers show no. Another year is a prize with male names. And, of course, they deserve it, but we continue to wonder how many women who also deserve this will never win?
